new metadata for charms for the charm store updates

> I talked with Jorge and he asked me to email the list. We're working on the

> 
> We've also added support for the idea of a single category for each charm.
> To help with charms that don't have icons, we would like to default each
> charm to an icon we provide for the category the charm is 'in'. The
> category is to be defined in the metadata.yaml. The category is also used
> to help group charms and aid in browsing.

> The six categories we have been given are:
> 
> Databases
> File Server
> Applications
> Cache/Proxy
> App Servers
> Miscellaneous

What is Gearman for instance? Or Redis?

Seems like a huge waste of time. Tags and a good text search engine
would achieve more than categories.
